Among Us Arena

Fan-made fighting game for Among Us

Among Us Arena is a free fan game developed by Starcutter. This game app takes the cast of the popular multiplayer action game and places them into a fun one-on-one combat system. Here, you can pick your favorite character and unleash combos to win. The game offers both offline and online modes. There is even a tournament available.

Unlike other fighting games, however, Among Us Arena is wonderfully basic. The combat system offers the most common attacks, which include physical, knife, and gun attacks. Every character will also have the same skill. Additionally, online play can suffer from lag. 

What is Among Us Arena?

Among Us Arena is a 2D game that features the cast of the popular Mafia-like game. However, instead of looking for an impostor among the crew, they will engage in action-packed battles. The game comes with mechanics familiar to fighting game aficionados. Here, you will pick a character and have him fight another crew member in a one-on-one match. Whoever remains standing at the end of the fight wins.

The game features all 15 characters from Among Us. However, every crew on the roster plays the same. With this, picking your character is pretty much choosing your favorite color. Additionally, the combat is basic. You can unleash a light or strong physical attack, a knife attack, and a gun attack. All of which you can perform standing, crouching, or in the air. You can also create combos.

You can play with an AI character offline. There’s a rudimentary online functionality, allowing you to play with your friends to make it more exciting. You can even participate in a tournament. However, some issues need consideration. For one, matchmaking is a little flakey. The online play also suffers from occasional lag. However, as this is a fan-made game, all these are understandable.

Should you play it?

Overall, Among Us Arena offers an exciting take on the popular multiplayer game. The game takes all the 15-player roster of the original title and puts it on a fun fighting arena. It offers both offline and online modes and even lets you participate in a tournament. The combat is basic, and the game suffers from technical issues. However, at a base level, it is fun.
